It took me a while, but it was the last week of school — so I’ve been busy. Here’s the Memorial Day recap.

We went to White Rock. That’s my grandma’s childhood home! It’s up on the Ty river in VA. It’s a drive to get up there. There are many back roads and hills. Here’s one of them — it’s on Cub Creek. Here’s us going up the hill. It doesn’t look like much, but it’s a big one.

You can’t tell from the picture, but when you get to the top of the hill it’s literally like the road drops off. Here’s the “going down” photo.

TYou know you’re at White Rock when you see the lower house.

Here’s the front door, and the cool horse shoe above the door.

And the back of the lower house.

Then we walked into White Rock.

There was breakfast to be had. Granma made us some fried eggs.

Best eggs you’ll ever have. There were biscuits made by Aunt Lura.

Country ham. If you don’t know what it is or how awesome it is….I just don’t know what to do. Here’s the skinny, you don’t have refrigerate it (practically) because it’s salt cured. I get it every Christmas from my grandparents. It’s amazing.

Eat it, now.

Here’s some freezer jam that Ann makes. You mash up some strawberries, mix in some other stuff, and put it in the freezer. It tastes like fresh berries and keeps for up to a year! YUMALICIOUS!
